"Father, it's not right! I remember that Qiu Yuanxue was not already on the execution ground...... What is this woman?" said the third prince in shock when he heard the name of this woman just now......

"Back to the crown princes, the emperor, I am indeed Qiu Yuanxue! Qiu Yuanxue stood up and bowed to everyone.

Everyone came to the hall one after another, the emperor sat on the dragon chair, and the officials and ministers in the audience all discussed, and the three princes knelt in front of their father and asked the ins and outs of the matter......

"Yes, third brother, I also heard that Qiu Yuanxue was executed on the execution ground, so why is this person still standing here?"

The eldest prince didn't know what to say.

“...... So what's this guy about?"

"Oh, the emperor and the ministers and princes, let me explain the situation next. ”

He Jing came to the hall and said to the ministers and the crown prince.

"As for Qiu Yuanxue's affairs on the execution ground, in the final analysis, you can ask Lord Liu......"

“？...... He Jing, what is this?" Qiu Yuanxue walked up to He Jing and asked in a whisper.

"Don't worry, I'll tell you the truth, Sister Tang Yan is still alive......" He Jing whispered proudly in her heart.

"What! You actually ...... this big thing," Qiu Yuanxue said in shock after hearing this.

The emperor called: "Come, bring Lord Liu in!"

When he walked up to the hall, he saw Qiu Yuanxue and said angrily: "You murderer! You dare to stand here! It's so lawless, the emperor, if you run away, she's here to kill you!"

"That's enough! I ask you, what happened to the people you killed on the execution ground before?"

The emperor was angry...... Alas, I'll tell you the truth, this female prisoner didn't know how to escape, leaving behind a leather mask and wig, I really couldn't be afraid of being killed, so I found a death row prisoner and asked her to forcibly dress up as Qiu Yuanxue and behead her......"

"Ridiculous! Do you know that this is the crime of deceiving the king!" the emperor sent the handle of the dragon chair and said angrily.

“...... Escaped...... Brother said this, Sister Tang Yan, she is not dead?......" Ye Ge was also very shocked, she leaned over to Xing Yuxiang and whispered.

“...... This should be He Jing's hands and feet done secretly...... I really convinced her, and she didn't tell us anything...... "Xing Yuxiang also said helplessly.

————

Looking back, just after Qiu Yuanxue, who was pretending to be Tang Yan, refused He Jing to leave, He Jing, who returned to the inn, walked around the room and thought about it, and said, "No...... If that person is really not my sister, I can't let her die in vain...... I'll go to the cell again. ”

So He Jing played the flute to summon the wreath portal, after she jumped in, the portal closed, and at the same time on the other side of the cell, He Jing played the flute and walked out of the portal, and the jailers shouted vigilantly when they saw the strange woman breaking in: "Who are you?"

He Jing played the flute, and all the surrounding jailers fainted on the ground, and the weapons were scattered all over the ground, just like that, He Jing swaggered into the cage of Qiu Yuanxue pretended to be Tang Yan, she played a flute outside the cage, and the door of the cage "creaked" open.

Qiu Yuanxue, who was pretending to be Tang Yan, stood up in shock when she saw it and asked, "Why are you back again?" I said I won't go with you!"

"Oh, don't pretend, don't worry, the jailers here are all hypnotized by me and are asleep, you are not Qiu Yuanxue. ”

He Jing said with a smile.

“...... Now that you've seen through it, all right...... It's true that I'm not Qiu Yuanxue. Tang Yan took off the skinned mask and leaked her true face.

"Oh, I said you're not stupid, I've seen someone who isn't afraid of death, but I've never seen you give people heads like this...... You die, what will happen to your family?" He Jing shook his head helplessly and said.

"I don't have a family...... There is only one brother. ”

"In that case, you should cherish your life more than to die in vain!"

“...... Thank you for your kindness, but I'm not leaving. ”

“...... Oh, why are you so stubborn...... You also think about your brother, what should you do if you die and leave your brother alone? And if you impersonate Qiu Yuanxue, once this matter is revealed, not only will it not help her, but it will hurt her, have you thought about it?"

"This ............," Tang Yan lowered her head and thought thoughtfully.

"Don't do this, you have to go now, by the way, I brought you clothes to change this, since you want to help her, why don't you go to Kaifeng first to help me do something." After speaking, He Jing handed over a bag he had brought with him.

"Okay, I'll promise you......" Tang Yan felt that what the woman in front of her said made sense, and after careful consideration, she decided to agree to her request.

"What's your name, girl?"

Tang Yan asked.

"Just call me He Jing. ”

"Come on, use my portal to leave, remember that all your actions after opening must be arranged by me, and you can't claim to know?"

Later, Tang Yan took off her clothes and thin leather mask, changed into the clothes prepared by He Jing, and then left the prison with He Jing with the help of the portal.

At this time, after the jailers woke up, they searched everywhere and finally found that the cell where Qiu Yuanxue was held was empty and had long since disappeared, so they reported to Lord Liu in a panic, and Lord Liu walked to Qiu Yuanxue's cell in a hurry, completely dumbfounded, and said dumbfounded: "Ah...... Damn, let her run away......"

The official next to him picked up the skinned masks and clothes on the ground and let Lord Liu look at them, and Lord Liu thought in his heart: "This Qiu Yuanxue is so wow, you actually play this with me...... I'll catch you someday. ”

"This ...... What should I do, Lord Liu, she will be beheaded tomorrow, but she suddenly disappeared, and this court is to blame......"

"You ask me what to do?! People are running with you, you must know that she runs away and our heads are not safe, alas, it doesn't matter...... Just find a female death row prisoner to behead her instead. ”

Then, Liu Daren left with a snort......

The next day, after Qiu Yuanxue's beheading, Xing Yuxiang, and Yege found out that it was not Qiu Yuanxue who died After waking up He Jing, who pretended to faint, everyone was on the way to follow Tang Hu's corpse, He Jing said to Xing Yuxiang and Yege: "That...... You guys go and have a look first, I suddenly have something to do here and I'll come back after a while. ”

"Hey! He Jing...... Alas, night song, let's go and see it first. ”

"Sister He Jing, where are you going?"

In desperation, Yege and Xing Yuxiang had no choice but to follow Tanghu all the way to Hongtang Mountain first.

At the same time, in the hall of the imperial court, many ministers gathered in the middle of the court to discuss the execution of Qiu Yuanxue

......

"This Qiu Yuanxue has killed so many ministers, and he should have been beheaded a long time ago. ”

"yes, I think it's too cheap to behead her. ”

"Well, why would she do such a thing at such a young age...... It's really ......."

The emperor sat on the dragon chair and said to the ministers, "Everyone, are you not anything else to say except this matter?"

"Back to the emperor, the surrounding towns have been attacked by some kind of monster for unknown reasons recently, and the buildings have been seriously damaged......"

"Alas...... How about the people's injuries?" the emperor waved his hand and stopped the minister.

"This ...... According to statistics, the number of casualties is huge...... There are also many people whose families are ruined and homeless and live on the streets......"

“...... Alas...... Zhang Quan, you should send more people to order you to go down and get more official food and other materials and send them to the local refugees to support them......"

"Yes, the emperor, I'll do it. ”

A thin man among the ministers stepped forward and spoke.

"Your Majesty...... This official ration is the food used by the soldiers to fight in battle...... Can't ......"

"Why can't I be? If the people are suffering today, I sit on this dragon chair and can't sleep well, and every day I go out to those destroyed towns, and when I see the injured people, my heart is dripping blood, and now the generals of the court and the central government have enough food and clothing, but who has ever thought about the feelings of those people who have suffered from this change? They have not enough to eat and drink, and they live a ...... of fear every day."

After the emperor finished speaking, the ministers behind the scenes were silent......

At the same time, He Jing's voice suddenly came in.

"Oh, I didn't expect the emperor to be so loving, I admire He Jing." ”

Everyone looked left and right, you look at me, I look at you, looking for each other's voices.

At this time, a wreath appeared in the center of the hall, He Jing played the flute and walked out of the circle, and the emperor stood up in a panic when he saw the strange woman coming here, and asked, "Who are you?"

One of the ministers shouted, "Someone has broken into the palace to protect the emperor!"

After that, a large number of soldiers poured in and surrounded the woman on the inside and outside of the three floors.

"Oops...... Your Majesty, I'm here to tell you about Qiuyuanxue. ”

"Hmph! Qiu Yuanxue is a murderer, what does she have to say?"

"Then the emperor, do you know who Qiu Yuanxue's mother is?"

"It is a felony to kill an official of the imperial court, and if the whole family commits it, the whole family will be beheaded, don't you know?" said the emperor.

"Okay, I'll just say it bluntly, Qiu Yuanxue's mother is Qiu Yuan Muying, it is said that 20 years ago, the Chiyou War, killed and injured countless people, Qiu Yuan Muying She is a hero who saved the lives of tens of millions of people. ”

"You mean Muying!!" The emperor said in shock when he heard these two words.

At this time, the surrounding ministers were talking again.

But even this will not help, Qiu Yuanxue is already dead! The emperor said.

"Hehe, is that really the case?

"What if I say that Qiu Yuanxue is not dead?"

"What?!, not dead?" said the emperor with his eyes wide open and shocked after hearing this.

The ministers in the audience began to talk again......

"Also, you keep saying that Qiu Yuanxue killed someone, is there any evidence?"

"Of course there are, there are people who have witnessed her killing. A minister next to him said.

"Oh, then may I ask this minister, when did you kill him?" can you elaborate?" He Jing asked rhetorically.

"Come to think of it, someone saw the minister killed on the night of the 5th of this month. ”

"Oh...... Back to the emperor, can you invite those who saw Qiu Yuanxue kill people to the imperial court?"

"Why not, come and summon witnesses!"

After that, a large number of witnesses who saw Qiu Yuanxue's murder walked into the hall and lined up in a row.

He Jing walked back and forth in front of these officers and soldiers, and while watching the expressions and movements of each officer and soldier, she asked, "It is said that you saw the woman in this portrait killed, right?"

He Jing took out a wanted warrant for Qiu Yuanxue that he had torn off at some point from his coat pocket and said.

Many officers and soldiers nodded their heads and said, "Yes." ”

"And on what day were those ministers killed?"

"It's the 5th of this month. ”

"Yes, it's Number 5!"

"Are you sure?" asked He Jing.

"Sure! it's the one she killed!"

"Back to the emperor, on the 5th of this month, at this time, Qiuyuan Snowman is in Kaifeng Mansion, how did she go to the capital thousands of miles away to kill people?

The surrounding ministers began to hold back and began to talk again.

Immediately afterwards, He Jing played the flute and summoned a purple wreath, and a person walked out of the wreath, and when he saw the emperor, he knelt on the ground and bowed: "The grass people have seen the emperor." ”

"Get up. ”

He Jing introduced: "This is from Kaifeng Mansion, the innkeeper where Qiu Yuanxue lives, and he can prove that Qiu Yuanxue did stay in Kaifeng on the night of the 5th and did not leave the room. ”

He Jing walked over and asked the shopkeeper, "Shopkeeper, don't be afraid of anything, just tell the truth, have you ever confiscated this woman's room money?

"Back to the emperor, I have an account book here to testify that I did receive money from this woman, this person is a hero in Kaifeng! She has saved the lives of several children, and she is by no means a bad person, the emperor...... I have been at the front desk of the inn, she paid for the room on the night of the 5th, has been staying in the room and never went out, I remember very clearly once she asked me to bring a candle at night, I opened the door she was still in the room, even if I fell asleep, my wife and children can prove that she has not been out of the house. ”

"This ......" the emperor also fell into deep thought after hearing this......

The ministers in the audience began to discuss and talk......

"Could it be...... Miss Qiu really didn't kill anyone?"

"But someone saw someone who looked exactly like her...... She doesn't have a twin sister, does she?"

"I don't know ......"
